A founder says entrepreneurship is relentless pain, a series of kicks in the nuts with brief moments of hope. The point: that suffering is the price you chose to pay. Accept it instead of pretending it won't happen.
Entrepreneurship fucking sucks a lot of the time. Most of the day-to-day of entrepreneurship is just getting kicked in the nuts every single day for years on end with an occasional glimmer of hope followed by a swift kick in the nuts. I think it's reframing pain as reality and something to be expected and the price that we are willing to pay for the thing that we want. We chose to become entrepreneurs. We chose to start businesses, and with that choice comes consequences.
